From the the very start of the tenancy all the staff I dealt with were both friendly and professional. Any issues they quickly got the situation resolved with little fuss. Going forward should I find myself having to rent Gates would be my first port of call

Happy overall, but withheld Information

Good estate agents but we had information withheld from us and was told that the last occupier died in a nursing home. But we recently found out from the neighbours that he died in the house. We’re unsure whether it was the sellers son who lied or the estate agents, but we wanted to express our concern.

Thank you for your review. Could you please contact the office to discuss further as we have no records of your details on our database and can not identify the property you have mentioned?

The staff at Gates Estates couldn’t have made what could have been a rather stressful time more pleasant. Their easy going yet professional attitude put me and my partner at ease and made everything easy and accessible. Quick responses to any and all questions I had (there were a few) and delivered all information clearly and concisely. All in all, I cannot fault their service.

Went for a viewing can’t remember the name of the girl that was there (think it was Megan) within 1 day of applying for the place I got accepted for it, went to sign the tenancy agreement and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Really put you at ease with it all would highly recommend using these.

I bought a house listed with gates estates. They were very quick and efficient. I mostly dealt with Rebecca. She answered any questions I had and was great.

Never been so annoyed and dismayed of how a agent and a agency can lie and cheat . Gates and parish well nothing more to say about them bar cheats and liars really don’t need to add anymore

Hello, we have no record of you on our system. We are Gates Estates in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and can see this review should be for Gates and Parish, Upminster who we are in no way linked to.

Incompetent, dreadful service. Emma in particular lied to us regarding having called us and as a result we lost our on a house we were desperate for. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY!! Staff are rude, sarcastic and laugh on the phone when you report a problem. Worst service I’ve ever received and we shall be reviewing elsewhere online to ensure others are aware to avoid.

Our Lettings team has since contacted you and offered our apologies for any miscommunication and also discussed the professional industry protocol we must follow in regards to lettings applications. That said, once again we are sincerely sorry you feel this way. The Lettings Team.

I have dealt with Gates Estates for the last three years as a landlord where they act as letting agent. I have always found them to be courteous and prompt. Their communication via telephone and/or email has always been to a standard with which I have been very happy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a letting agent based on my personal experience.

Five star service all the way. I've used Ryan Gates company since 2012 for rentals. As a landlord their service and maintenance for my property has been exceptional. A big thumbs up from me. I would recommend Gates Estates to anyone who's looking for a local agent in Barnsley.

Words fail me they are horrible , they lie in court to get you evicted they hound you when you are ill and recovering from major surgery they still go against your solicitors instructions and they also SPY on you my advice is if your thinking of using these lot AVOID THEM THEY ARE LIARS AND BULLIES !!!!!

Agent replied Β· 28 May 2023

Dear Mr Clarke, we are very disappointed to receive your amended review following your positive review of our services from 2 years ago. We feel your recent review is somewhat unfair as we are the acting agent and not the Landlord who ultimately took you to court for failure to pay your rent. Our Lettings Team always act professionally, working within Lettings law and to our Landlord’s instructions. We are sorry you feel your experience towards the end of your tenancy has prompted you to leave this review.

Stay away from these amateurs. I work in development and at best these are a joke. It’s common knowledge that estate agents come second to solicitors when it comes to deceit, but I put this outfit first…

FRAUDSTERS CONMEN . Hello owner thanks for your reply 4 weeks later you guys are on the ball. You would want the review taking down as you've been caught out and nobody likes that but this is what reviews are for any of mine that isn't true I'll take off. Emily who bought it is a property developer I'll see what she spends on the house and then the selling price. No you didn't deal with me and you say you strive to achieve the highest possible price what 20 % less than the valuation. I'm going to pick 5 random houses that you have sold this year see the valuation and the selling price and look how many sold 20% less like mine did. I'd bet a pound to a penny I don't find any.

First time buyer. Had viewed several properties around Barnsley and Gates made it very easy to arrange viewings of good properties. Staff were very easy and professional when dealing with them and in the end managed to secure an excellent property at a great price.

Recently used Gates Estates to rent a property, from the very beginning of the process the company and Ela specifically have been really professional and very responsive to every contact made, ensured the whole process before, during and after completing has been very smooth. Very happy and would use again in the future.
